In this chapter, we are introduced to the young protagonist, Yagi, who has just won an award for his picture book. He is very nervous about the ceremony, which is being held in his honor. He tells his friend, who is also an award-winner, that he is sorry for what has happened, and that he will talk to his two co-workers later. Yagi says that he has already made up for the incident with his sales at the shop, and he is very happy that he and his friend are so close. When Yagi asks if he is okay, he is told that he was upset because he had eaten another book, which makes him dizzy. When he asks if she has ever eaten such a book before, she says that she has, and it makes her dizzy. She tells him that he should not eat such a thing on impulse, and she tells him to stop worrying. When she asks him where he is going to sleep, he tells her to put the rest of his things in the closet, and when he asks her where her bedroom is, she replies that she will put it in the cupboard. She says that if he has a headache, he should take him to the hospital, and if he does have a fever, she should rest. She asks him to call her shop if he needs anything, or his cell phone, or her cell phone.
